The Klingon BoP Poster has just the usage McArdle is asking about:
tlhIngan juHqo'Daq tlhIng yoSDaq 'oH toQDuj chenmoHlu'meH Daq wa'DIch'e'
1st Construction Site: The Kling District, Klingon Home World (KBoP)
We have one other example of Okrand using a Type 5 noun suffix with an
ordinal number modifying a noun in a post answering SuStel's letter about
qep'a' wejDIch on the old MSN expert.forum list:
qep'a' wejDIchDaq jatlhtaH tlhIngan Hol HaDwI'pu'.
